Victoria Beckham was too embarrassed to tell Marc Jacobs about her first fashion collection. The former Spice Girl launched her debut range for her label dVb last year but admits she was terrified to showcase it to her designer friend because he`s so talented at what he does. She said: "When I came out with my first collection, I didn`t even tell Marc. Well, I felt a little bit embarrassed. He`s Marc Jacobs. What else can I say? I never really told him, and then we went to dinner and he said congratulations on all the reviews and the quality of my work.
I`ve learned so much from him. I am such a sponge whenever I`m around him. He is one of the most intelligent, interesting people that I have ever met." Victoria - who has been praised by the critics for all of her collections - also revealed how fellow designer Roland Mouret has helped inspire her. She told WWD: "I have utmost respect for Roland. I think he is incredibly talented. I love what he does. He`s a great businessman. When I very first started working on the dresses, he gave me advice when it came to putting my team together. He doesn`t have anything to do with the design of anything that I do. But he taught me about how to turn my dreams into reality, if you like. He told me I needed a production manager - he helped with that side of things. I do what I do, and he does what he does, and it`s incredibly separate."
